Can you explain if iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm and mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm, will iron float or sink in mercury?
Iron will float in a pool of mercury because iron has a much lower density than mercury. The same principle works on the less-dense ice floating in water, which is denser than ice.
